I think you can't. But remember that after hd install you have Debian testing/unstable and you can use APT to upgrade your Debian.

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

I don't know your configuration but usually there's problems with KDE after upgrading if old KDE is not removed beforehand. I myself installed Knoppix afresh from 3.4 CD and updated it then with APT. Now I have newist Debian with KDE and Gnome installed

Knoppix installed to hd is Debian right? You have no need to upgrade Knoppix. You need to upgrade Debian.

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

What you upgrade to is determined by what you have it /etc/apt/sources.list

Persoanlly I use unstable packages, just did an upgrade today and all is well.

knx-hdinstall is reinstalling the entire OS which is generally not necessary.
